Verblijf was prettig, sfeervol oud, opgeknapt huis. Midden in het gezellige Laroque, mooie omgeving maar ook goede eetgelegenheden bij de deur. Huis is koel, goed uitgeruste keuken. Mooie omgeving voor wandelingen, fietsen en strand.
It was a very special time for us to be in Philippeâs rental in Laroque-des-Alberes for five plus weeks this winter. The house is one of the most spacious and comfortable weâve rented during our decades of travel. Especially nice is the sunlight that brightens every room. Though there were only two of us, the house would easily accommodate 4-6. It has everything in the ways of need and convenience: kitchen supplies along with a good selection of staples, washing machine, great shower, and reliable internet. On each of the two floors are two patios as well, one when you need shade and the other to bask in the sun. The house is wonderfully located in the heart of the town, and for convenience a boulangerie/patisserie, a small grocery with an excellent selection of cheeses, and a butcher are a very short walk away. There are also several restaurants close by.The history and culture of the area are rich and deep from the many, many beautiful Romanesque and medieval chapels, abbeys, churches to the modern artists who worked in Seret, Collioure, and Banyuls-sur-Mer. And the stunning varied landscape of the region is a walker/ hikerâs delight with exceedingly well-signed trails along the sea coast and in the hills, mountains, and valleys.All of this coupled with the kindness and thoughtfulness of Philippe made our stay a full and filling one of pure pleasure.
